1. Abu al-Husayn, you came forward without apologizing
When some people come forward, they apologize
١. أَبا الحُسَينِ تَقَدَّم غَيرَ مُعتَذِرٍ
إِذا تَقَدَّمَ بَعضُ القَومِ يَعتَذِرُ
2. You stood still while lineage was flowing, a stream of gold
From what you have given, and the bounty is a string of pearls
٢. وَقَفتَ فَاِنسابَ يَجري صَيِّبٌ ذَهَبٌ
مِمّا بَذَلتَ وَتَهمي ديمَةٌ دُرَرُ
3. Generosity has flowed until its spring was exhausted
And eloquence has quenched thirst until gatherings roared
٣. جودٌ تَدَفَّقَ حَتّى عَجَّ زاخِرُهُ
وَمَنطِقٌ راعَ حَتّى ضَجَّتِ الزُمَرُ
4. Ardor that people do not know where it is from
Nor has life seen its like in any gathering
٤. حَمِيَّةٌ ما دَرى الأَقوامُ مَوضِعها
وَلا رَأى مِثلَها في مَشهَدٍ عُمَرُ
